LINCOLN - University of Nebraska Football Coach Scott Frost released a statement this week addressing the recent tragedies in the country.

Frost calls the events unacceptable and the senseless deaths that have occurred are "inexcusable."

"We should all stand up against racism of any kind," Frost said. "It should have no place in this world. I am hurting for our communities, our state, and our country. I am hurting for the Black community and the Black members of our team and our coaching staff."

He continues saying we all respond to pain and grief in different way. Frost says he was raised to turn to faith and prayer.

Here is the rest of his statement:

I pray for peace on our streets tonight and for peace on our streets moving forward.

I pray that God shows us all how to be caring for and accepting of one another.

I pray that God shows us all how to be agents for change.

I humbly pray for the wisdom and strength to continue to lead our program in a positive way.

I pray for love instead of anger and for equality instead of injustice.

We are all God's children! Please be safe, Nebraska.

This Lord bless you and keep you,

The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you,

The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26
